Adobe Stock

Last updated: June 11, 2018

Adobe Stock is a service that gives creatives access to more than 100 million high-quality, royalty-free photos, vectors, illustrations, videos, templates, and 3D assets for their creative projects. Adobe Stock provides a marketplace for Adobe Stock Contributors to showcase and sell their digital content. The Adobe Privacy Policy describes the general privacy practices of most of Adobe’s websites and applications, including Adobe Stock.

Adobe Stock Contributors

If you submit content to Adobe for licensing, we may also require verification of your identity with a government issued ID and your tax forms, such as IRS Forms W-8 or W-9 required for tax purposes, and other information such as:

Facilitate your participation in our interactive features such as blogs and forums; and

For security purposes to protect you as well as Adobe

We may share the information that Adobe Stock Contributors you provide to us with third-party service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf, such as, for example, payment processors and content partners.

Display of Personal Data

As an Adobe Stock Contributor, we will display your first and last name or the preferred name that you choose, on our website in connection with selling licenses for your content including but not limited to displaying your name by your content, in the metadata of your content (if a customer downloads it) and in the shopping cart.

Model and Property Releases

Adobe Stock receives model releases and property release (s applicable) from its contributors and will process the information in those forms including name, contact information and basis demographics for the purposes of licensing, investigating and defending legal claims, notifying trade unions such as SAG-AFTRA, and protecting third party legal rights.

Storage

Where you have perpetually licensed content to us or have perpetually licensed content from us we need to keep a record of that in perpetuity for licensing, investigating and defending legal claims, to protect third party legal rights and for payment management purposes. Model and property releases also are kept in perpetuity (as certain content rights are perpetual) for licensing the content, investigating and defending legal claims, and to protect third party rights. We also keep our Adobe Stock Contributor’s bank details so we can verify that Adobe Stock paid the Adobe Stock contributors for the licenses that Adobe Stock sold.
